Healthy Acadia to Host Discussion Series for Teens and Young Adults 

Healthy Acadia is facilitating a monthly listening circle for Downeast teens and young adults to come together. The Community Circle will offer a carefully constructed, intentional dialogue space for young people to connect, share their experiences, and imagine the future. The Circle will meet from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. one Thursday per month via the Zoom platform., and all interested teens and young adults are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Circle facilitators aim to gather voices of young people and hear their stories, which in turn will help to collectively guide and support the work of Healthy Acadia and other local community organizations working for the common good.

Each month, the Circle will be co-facilitated by a local partner organization working to create positive and lasting change in our community. Interested young people may opt to join one or all of the Circles.

Pre-registration is required. Click here to register. Registrants will receive an email containing the Zoom link to join.
